Resume

Originally from Austria, I came to Canada a few decades ago and established myself in the business world.

I became a Paralegal first and worked in law firms for 10 years and thereafter became a freelancer working from home, doing the paperwork for various smaller law firms, and did that for another 10 years. However, I had to realize that being self-employed did not provide me with the freedom and independence I was yearning for. In fact, I became even more of a slave, as my income stopped simultaneously with my idleness, again preventing me from enjoying the fruits of my labour.

When the time came for the PC to become ubiquitous in all offices and homes, my livelihood was threatened and my skills and services became redundant. I then decided to go into a more \&quot;concrete\&quot; business and bought a Pet Shop as a going concern, which also housed dog grooming and a dog grooming school. I had between 5 and 10 employees and thought that they would make my life easier and take care of part of the business for me. WRONG again! They actually created headaches and grievances I had never before imagined or come across. I owned and operated the business for six years.

Finally, I had to succumb and learn about computers and the Internet to acquire new skills in the marketplace. It was (and is) not easy, but I persevered, just so that eventually my hard work might pay off and create the life I\&#039;ve always wanted: Personal and financial freedom to do the things that make me happy and to enjoy life to the fullest, even if it happens at the dusk of my life.

I have dabbled manifold in my attempts to find, create and grow an online business. Some have failed and some are finally coming to fruition. I would like to share those with fellow marketers and exchange them with theirs.

The new technology era is, for the first time in history, making it possible for many of us to succeed without a huge monetary investment and to live a truly free, full and meaningful life. But it takes a lot of time, dedication and effort to get there, and its all worth it in the end.

My dream is to change lives and the world for the better, one person at a time
